    RTA and Volocopter operate Autonomous Air Taxi (AAT) in Dubai

    Published on Jun 19, 2017

    Our vision becomes reality: Dubai’s government “Roads and Transport Authority” (RTA) has signed an agreement with us regarding the regular test mode of autonomous air taxis in the emirate.
    The test will start in the fourth quarter of 2017, and the project has been scheduled to run for five years.
    We are focused on making flying an option for everyone and on re-inventing mobility in urban areas. We established our place in aviation history in 2011 with the world´s first manned flight of an electric multicopter. The introduction of its latest model, Volocopter 2X, has made us a global leader when it comes to safety and autonomous flying.
    18 rotors, fully redundant power trains and an intelligent autonomous control system offer maximum reliability “made in Germany”. Now this technology will experience further testing in Dubai under extreme climatic conditions. We see Dubai as the pioneer for a huge evolving market and are convinced that many other metropolitan areas will follow.
    For years, our team has developed not only the technology for quiet, safe and emission-free flying, but it is also a pioneer when it comes to close cooperation with aviation authorities and the definition of standards for infrastructure and reliable operation. We now have a fantastic opportunity to work with the RTA on the development and testing of the entire future ecosystem for safe autonomous air transport using Dubai as a first showcase project.

    Dubai's flying drone taxi service is lifting off

    Published on Sep 26, 2017

    The autonomous passenger drone service would be the first in the world

    Dubai was serious when it said it wants to be first in the world to offer a flying taxi service. That's why on Monday, it staged a maiden test flight for one of its potential taxis: a two-seater, 18-rotor unmanned flying vehicle made by German firm Volocopter, which is backed by fellow German company Daimler. The automated vehicle, which lifts and lands vertically like a helicopter, whisked Dubai Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed away for a five-minute flight 200 meters above a patch of sand.
